  • : Xavier Worthy: Listed Out (Hamstring) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Xavier Worthy: 85 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jakobi Meyers's 66 percent of the snaps and 23 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Xavier Worthy for Jakobi Meyers?

Not on these numbers alone. Xavier Worthy projects 72 market-implied PPR points from Week 10 through Week 17 (9.0 a game over 8 games) and Jakobi Meyers 74 (9.2 a game over 8 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it. Xavier Worthy is listed out.
